For a Freedom
JENNIFER: FOR FREEDOM (24)

"Why are you fighting? What are you guys fussing about?" ask Vallice to them.

The two of them were surprised that when Vallice arrived near them, they tried to be calm.

"You've returned? Ah, and what are you carrying?" Kiel tried to make small talk.

Vallice didn't hear the conversation that Derren and I had just had, did she?

"I brought you ice cream, you must be thirsty because of the heat" said Vallice.

They both look anxious and hesitant to take the ice cream that Vallice dishes right for them.

"What's wrong? W-Do you guys not like ice cream?" Vallices.

"Ti-no, that's not it. We've never eaten ice cream before so...." Kiel's.

"Are you really Derren?" Vallices.

"I-iya.." replied Derren in a soft voice.

"Ah, then you guys try dong! It's delicious, fresh and sweet." said Vallice reassured them.

They could no longer reason and finally decided to eat the ice cream. One little spoon they took the ice cream and hesitantly ate the ice cream.

"Hows it? Yummy, right?" Vallices.

Right, this is delicious!

"It's sweet" replied Kiel.

Vallice smiled, then she also asked Derren.

"Derren do you like it too?" Vallices.

Derren just nodded his head slowly, but it seemed Vallice was satisfied with that. He thinks Derren likes it and he becomes happy.

Long story short, Vallice and Kiel had already finished their escrim, but not with Derren. He left a lot of ice cream left in his bowl.

Vallice who saw that, then asked Derren with a worried expression.

"Why? You don't like it, do you? If you don't like it don't be forced...." Vallices.

"I-I just don't like chocolate." replied Derren.

Kiel realized that his sister was very uncomfortable there, then he looked for an excuse to say...

"It's late in the afternoon, we have to get Vallice home. Thank you for today." said Kiel happily.

"Ah yes, it's late afternoon.let me take it forward." Vallices.

They were escorted out by Vallice, there was already a car parked and ready to go. Vallice pushed them into the car.

"Eh why? We can walk!" exclaimed Kiel who felt bad about the treatment.

"It's okay, my driver will deliver you safely. It's...." Vallice gave them a bag of nice new clothes and a few other things.

"Vallice.. This is overkill...." Kiel is getting bad at receiving gifts from Vallice.

Vallice forces them to accept it, Derren and Kiel look at each other for a while and finally they receive a gift from Vallice.

Vallice was happy and smiled, then they both got in and the car was running. Vallice waved his hand at the car until it came out of the gate.

Nae's waiter greets Vallice and asks who they are.

"Are they your new friends Miss?" ask Nae respectfully and politely.

"Yes Auntie, .. oh yes! If there is news and a case regarding the death of a boy found in a grass field, please press the case not to spread." Vallices.

Vallice with her sharp gaze looked at Nae's servant, Nae's servant of course immediately agreed to Vallice's request.

"B-well Miss," Nae.

Miss's attitude is more and more similar to Madam's....

What does that mean for sister? Vallene's?

"Sister, don't see the kid again huh." whispered Derren mixed in anxiously. Kiel nodded and stroked Derren's head gently.

"Alright." replied Kiel with a bitter smile, not long after they asked to go down in the streets.

"Ehh, sir? We just stop here." said Kiel, the driver stopped immediately. Kiel was confused because he could not open the car door, and the driver who actually knew it chose to stay quiet.

Infuriated by the driver's behavior, Derren raised his voice.

"Aren't you supposed to open the door for us to get out?" shouted Derren.

It seemed that it made the driver upset and made the driver go down and open their door, they finally came down. The door was shut hard by the upset driver, and Derren and Kiel felt guilty and just stayed by the side of the road.

The driver drove the car back and turned the direction of the car, but after that the driver stopped and charged them.

"You want a lot, you poor man!" the driver shouted insultingly.

Derren and Kiel became sad and embarrassed, and the driver threw coins at them.

"Take it the poor man hahaha" said the driver in a condescending tone.

Then the car walked away, Kiel and Derren felt bad from being humiliated like that.

"Let's just take the money to eat tomorrow and give it to mom, to treat her and pay the bills" Derren said.

Kiel was heartbroken to hear Derren's words, let alone see his sister picking up coins scattered on the ground.

Forgive brother Derren, I promise I will make our lives better and free from all this suffering.

Inner Kiel with a sense of sadness, then he also picked up coins scattered with sadness and tears.

Vallice arrived in the dining room, there were two dishes and two glasses of water. Vallice sat down and took one plate and one glass of water.

Then starting to eat, Nae's waiter felt strange because Vallice asked to prepare two portions of food but Vallice only ate a portion of food.

"Miss, who's the other food for...?" nae's waiter asked Vallice who was eating.

"This is for sister." replied Vallice coldly, he just continued to focus on eating and did not care about anything there.

Vallene's? Wasn't it... Vallene is dead?

Nae's waitress was uncomfortable and then she left the dining room. Vallice just glanced and he didn't ask Nae anything. He did not care and continued to eat quietly.

...

"What is really on my mind, Miss? Miss is changing.." sighed Nae. Nae sighed and left Vallice to do another job.

...

"Sister, you don't finish your food."

Vallice spoke with an empty chair in front of him, which had been served the food that Vallice had requested earlier. Because the chair was empty, no one ate the food.

Vallice's plates and glasses were clean, he wiped his mouth and left the dining table.

"It's okay brother, if you don't appetite then now we sleep me yuk? It's late, I'm sleepy." said Vallice happily, not knowing who he was talking to.

He then walked out, up the stairs and up the stairs one by one. And tell him on the third floor, there he walked again slowly towards.... Yeah, Vallene's room.

Vallice was at the door of Vallene's room, before opening the door he smiled widely first, and finally he went inside and closed from inside the door.

"Sister, I'm sleeping here tonight.I'm tired of it, and I really want to spend time with my brother right now."
